Overview

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a data visualization platform for providing tools for remote user devices to visualize, filter, and conduct analytics of aggregated, large scale data sets. The data visualization platform may be configured to respond to requests from the remote user devices in real-time. The data visualization platform may include pre-compilation modules for selecting subsets of the generated analytics to be pre-complied on a scheduled basis in order to improve or reduce the latency when responding to real-time requests. The aggregation of the large scale data sets may also assist with improving accuracy levels which can also decline when datasets are used at too granular a level or when related data items from different sources conflict or do not match. The data visualization platform may also generate encrypted data packets in response to the real-time requests which can provide instructions to remote user devices for rendering secure visualization interfaces and data feeds based on the analyzed data. A benefit of some embodiments is that the data visualization platform presents the analyzed and filtered data in an easily digestible graphic representation, thus allowing the user, a human operator who is not capable of reviewing or processing such large scale data sets to quickly understand specific actions and outcomes related to the large scale data sets.

Embodiments of the disclosure will now be described with reference to the accompanying figures. The terminology used in the description presented herein is not intended to be interpreted in any limited or restrictive manner, simply because it is being utilized in conjunction with a detailed description of certain specific embodiments of the disclosure.

Example Network Environment

The illustrative network environment 100 shown in FIG. 1 includes a data visualization and analytics system 101 according to one embodiment. The data visualization and analytics system 101 enables a user to access analytics data generated based on various electronic data sets and documents and visualizations of such analytics data. The user may select a specific data item from a set of data items, and the data visualization and analytics system 101 may present visual elements to the user that indicate one or more performance statistics of the selected data item. Additionally, the data visualization and analytics system 101 may present to the user a visual indication of the distribution of analyzed data. Further, the data visualization and analytics system 101 may present to the user a visual comparison of performance data of two or more items.

For example, in one example use case, a system can collect data from judicial data sources (such as, for example, court dockets, rulings, briefs, and so forth), parse and analyze the collected data, and generate graphical elements that can help visualize the analyzed data. The system can then cause these graphical elements to be displayed on remote user computing devices to enable users of the system to visualize the analyzed data. For example, the system may receive a selection from a user of a specific judge from a list of judges, and the system may present visual elements to the user that indicate one or more performance statistics of the selected judge such as the number of reassignment motions filed against the judge. The system may generate analytics data indicating the number of times a reassignment motion (for example, a request for a new judge without having to provide a reason for cause or a request for a new judge based on cause, such as because of disqualification) has been filed against a specific judge based on data collected from court records. Based on the analytics data, the system may cause a graphical element to be displayed on the display screen of a remote user computing device. The displayed graphical element may visually indicate the frequency at which the reassignment motion is filed against the specific judge relative to other judges in the same county. In addition, the displayed graphical element may include a distribution of other judges to which the case is transferred subsequent to the reassignment motion being filed against the specific judge and/or a visual comparison of performance statistics of the specific judge as compared with one or more other judges (for example, the selected judge against one or more other judges in the same county or jurisdiction), rendering the desirability of filing the reassignment motion in a given case assigned to the specific judge immediately apparent to the user of the remote user computing device. Although embodiments of an example of use case are described in the context of judicial data analytics, the techniques of the present disclosure can be applied to another field or purpose, such as, for example, medical provider data analytics, educator data analytics, and so forth.

By way of illustration, various example user devices 102 are shown in communication with the data visualization and analytics system 101 via network 104. The user devices 102 can be any computing device such as a desktop, a laptop, a mobile phone (or smartphone), a tablet, a kiosk, a television, a wristwatch (including a smartwatch), a wireless device, a media player, one or more processor devices, integrated circuit components for inclusion in computing devices, and the like.

The network 104 over which the user devices 102 can access the data visualization and analytics system 101 may be any wired network, wireless network, or combination thereof. In addition, the network 104 may be a personal area network, local area network, wide area network, over-the-air broadcast network (for radio or television, for example), cable network, satellite network, cellular telephone network, or combination thereof. For example, the network 104 may be a publicly accessible network of linked networks, possibly operated by various distinct parties, such as the Internet. In some embodiments, the network 104 may be a private or semi-private network, such as a corporate or university intranet. The network 104 may include one or more wireless networks, such as a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) network, a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) network, a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, or any other type of wireless network. The network 104 can use protocols and components for communicating via the Internet or any of the other aforementioned types of networks.

In the depicted embodiment, the data visualization and analytics system 101 includes servers 120, which can communicate with the user devices 102 over the network 104 and provide access to various services of the data visualization and analytics system 101. In the example of FIG. 1, the services provided by the data visualization and analytics system 101 include a data analytics service 130 and a data visualization service 150. In some embodiments, these services can be implemented as software components executing in physical computer hardware on the servers 120 or in separate computing devices.

The data analytics service 130 can access data sources 160 and collect data. Using the example use case, the data may relate to various courts, cases, judges, dockets, parties, rulings, briefs, and so forth and store the data in an analytics data repository 140.

The data sources 160 can include state court databases, federal court databases, and the like. One or more of such databases may include state court dockets, federal district court dockets, state and/or federal appellate court dockets, administrative court dockets, and filings and/or decisions therein. In some cases, the databases may include legislative materials, codes, and findings, and/or administrative materials, regulations, guidance, findings, and the like. The data sources 160 may provide application programming interfaces (APIs) that may be called by the data analytics service 130 to access the data stored thereon. In other embodiments, the data sources 160 may allow data to be downloaded as a file or may provide electronic pages for screen capturing. The data analytics service 130 may store the data accessed from the data sources 160 in the analytics data repository 140. In some embodiments, the data analytics service 130 may parse and analyze the data before storing the data in the analytics data repository 140 as analytics data. The data analytics service 130 may periodically access a predefined set of third party systems or other data sources to collect additional data and to update the analytics data repository 140 based on any additional data. Some or all of the data described herein can be stored in a database format (SQL, for example). In some embodiments, at least some of the data described herein is stored in a blockchain format (as a blockchain ledger, for example).

The data visualization service 150 may implement a data visualization method by which visualizations of data collected from the data sources 160 and/or data stored in the analytics data repository 140 are generated and presented on the user devices 102. The visualizations may include a plurality of UI elements and/or visual indicators that render the latent information included in the data more immediately apparent to the users on the user devices 102.

In the example of FIG. 1, the data visualization service 150 includes an action visualizer 152 and an outcome visualizer 154 that may be used to implement various aspects of the present disclosure, such as providing a visual indication of the number of actions associated with a selected data item, providing a visual indication of outcomes of such actions, and providing a visual comparison of one or more performance metrics of the selected data item as compared with other data items within the same category or set. Using the example use case, the visual indication may show the number of actions associated with a selected judge (for example, reassignment motions filed against the given judge), as well as the outcomes of such actions (for example, distribution of cases transferred to other respective judges after being initially assigned to the given judge). A visual comparison of one or more performance metrics of the given judge against one or more other judges in the county or jurisdiction may also be provided. Although illustrated as a separate component of the data visualization service 150, in some embodiments, the action visualizer 152 and the outcome visualizer 154 may be a single component of the data visualization service 150.

The action visualizer 152 can access data in the analytics data repository 140 and provide a visualization of the actions taken with respect to a particular selected data item. The visualization may include a comparison of a visual indicator corresponding to the selected data item and another visual indicator corresponding to one or more other data item within the same category or set. Using the example use case, the actions could include case reassignment requests filed under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 170.6 (CCP § 170.6 filing) with respect to a particular judge. The visualization may include a side-by-side comparison of a visual indicator corresponding to the particular judge and another visual indicator corresponding to at least one or more other judges (for example, individual metrics associated with other judges, or aggregate metrics such as an average number of actions taken in a jurisdiction associated with the particular judge). Examples of the visualization provided by the action visualizer 152 under the example use case are described in greater detail below with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.

The outcome visualizer 154 can access data in the analytics data repository 140 and provide a visualization of the outcomes of the actions. Using the example use case, the outcomes could be the reassignment after CCP § 170.6 motions filed with respect to a particular judge. The visualization may include a distribution of visual indicators that are each indicative of the percentage of cases re-assigned to one of the other judges in the jurisdiction associated with the particular judge as a result of a CCP § 170.6 motion being filed against the particular judge. Examples of the visualization provided by the outcome visualizer 154 under the example use case are described in greater detail below with reference to FIG. 7.

The data visualization and analytics system 101 is depicted in FIG. 1 as operating in a distributed computing environment including several computer systems that are interconnected using one or more computer networks. The data visualization and analytics system 101 could also operate within a computing environment having a fewer or greater number of devices than are illustrated in FIG. 1. Thus, the depiction of data visualization and analytics system 101 in FIG. 1 should be taken as illustrative and not limiting to the present disclosure. For example, the data visualization and analytics system 101 or various constituents thereof could implement various Web services components, hosted or “cloud” computing environments, and/or peer-to-peer network configurations to implement at least a portion of the processes described herein.

Further, the data visualization and analytics system 101 may be implemented in hardware and/or software and may, for example, include one or more physical or virtual servers implemented on physical computer hardware configured to execute computer executable instructions for implementing the various features described herein. The one or more servers may be geographically dispersed or geographically co-located, for example, in one or more data centers.

Moreover, the processing of the various components or services of the data visualization and analytics system 101 can be distributed across multiple machines, networks, or other computing resources. The various components or services of the data visualization and analytics system 101 can also be implemented in one or more virtual machines or hosted computing environment (for example, “cloud”) resources, rather than in dedicated servers. Likewise, the data repositories shown can represent local and/or remote, physical and/or logical data storage, including, for example, storage area networks or other distributed storage systems. In some embodiments, the connections between the components or services shown represent possible paths of data flow, rather than actual connections between hardware. Executable code modules that implement various functionalities of the data visualization and analytics system 101 can be stored in the memories of the servers 120 and/or on other types of non-transitory computer-readable storage media. While some examples of possible connections are shown, any subset of the components shown can communicate with any other subset of components in various implementations.

Example Data Operations of Data Visualization Service

FIG. 2 is one embodiment of a block or data flow diagram of the data visualization service 150, for generating visualizations of the data collected from the data sources 160 and/or data stored in the analytics data repository 140. In some implementations, one or more of the blocks of FIG. 2 may be optional, and/or blocks may be rearranged. Although FIG. 2 is described using the example use case of providing visualization on reassignment motions, the described techniques can be applied to another field or purpose, such as, for example, medical provider data analytics, educator data analytics, and so forth.

At block 202, the data visualization service 150 accesses a select filter to select a judge from a plurality of judges. Based on the judge selected from the plurality of judges, the data visualization service 150 accesses the data store 220 to retrieve analytics data associated with the selected judge.

At block 204, the data visualization service 150 performs and records various calculations based on the data retrieved from the first data store 220. For example, the data visualization service 150 may calculate one or more performance metrics associated with the selected judge. In some cases, such calculations are performed prior to receiving a request to generate a data visualization for a judge.

At block 206, the data visualization service 150 may layer one or more filters to tailor the visualization to satisfy the particular needs of the users. For example, if the user has indicated that the user is interested in viewing a visualization based on motions filed by plaintiffs in personal injury cases, the data visualization service 150 may apply the party type filter (with a value corresponding to “plaintiff”) and the case type filter (with a value corresponding to “personal injury”) to the data to be used to generate the visualization requested by the user.

At block 208, the data visualization service 150 merges the filtered data with data retrieved from second data store 230. For example, the second data store 230 may include analytics data associated with judges other than the selected judge. In some cases, the second data store 230 includes types of data other than those stored in the first data store 220. For example, the first data store may include court docket data, and the second data store 230 may include ruling or brief data that can be used to improve or substantiate the analytics data derived from the court docket data.

At block 210, the data visualization service 150 performs and records additional calculations. For example, the data visualization service 150 may compare and generate comparative metrics that can be included in the visualization such as the percentage values in FIG. 7 and/or the performance metrics shown in FIG. 9.

At block 212, the data visualization service 150 determines scores to be included in the visualization. For example, the data visualization service 150 may calculate a score indicative of how plaintiff-friendly or defendant-friendly a particular judge is. As another example, the data visualization service 150 may calculate an action score indicative of the desirability of taking a particular action (for example, filing a COP § 170.6 motion) with respect to the selected judge (for example, based on user-specified parameters such as party, case type, and so forth). The action score may comprise a binary visual indicator that indicates whether or not the user would benefit from taking the particular action. Alternatively, the action score may comprise a visual indicator (for example, dial, slider bar, and so forth) indicative of the degree of desirability of taking the particular action. At block 214, the data visualization service 150 generates instructions to display the visualization on the user device.

Action Data Visualization Method

FIG. 3 is an embodiment of a flow diagram of an illustrative method 300 implemented in whole or in part by the data visualization service 150 for retrieving analytics data and generating visual indicators for presentation on a user device. While the illustrative method will be described below as being implemented by one or more components of the data visualization and analytics system 101 (for example, data visualization service 150), in other embodiments, one or more of the illustrated steps may be implemented by a component of the data visualization and analytics system 101 not shown in FIG. 1 or another computing system not shown in FIG. 1. For convenience, the steps of the example method 500 are described as being performed by the action visualizer 152. Although FIG. 3 is described using the example use case of providing visualization on reassignment motions, the described techniques can be applied to another field or purpose, such as, for example, medical provider data analytics, educator data analytics, and so forth.

At block 302, the action visualizer 152 generates, displays, renders, or sends instructions to display a user interface (UI) for selecting a judge from a plurality of judges. For example, the UI may include an array of UI elements that each correspond to a judge in a particular jurisdiction (for example, county, region, district, city, state, and the like).

Next, at block 304, the action visualizer 152 receives an electronic indication that corresponds to a user selection of a judge from the plurality of judges. For example, upon user activation of one of such UI elements included in the UI presented on a remote user computing device, the action visualizer 152 receives an indication that the user has selected the judge corresponding to the UI element activated by the user.

At block 306, the action visualizer 152 accesses analytics data associated with the selected judge. For example, the action visualizer 152 may access the analytics data repository 140 that includes analytics data previously generated by the data analytics service 130. Such analytics data associated with the selected judge may include various performance metrics such as the likelihood that the selected judge will grant or deny a particular type of motion, the frequency of a particular action being taken with respect to the user (for example, a reassignment motion being filed against the selected judge).

At block 308, the action visualizer 152 determines the case type, party, and/or date range to be used to generate the UI element for display to the user. For example, the action visualizer 152 may determine one or more of the case type, party, and/or date range based on default or initial values. As another example, the action visualizer 152 may determine one or more of the case type, party, and/or date range based on user-inputted values (for example, via a selection UI such as a drop-down menu).

At block 310, the action visualizer 152 accesses analytics data associated with other judges in at least one same category as the selected judge (such as, for example, the same geographical region as the selected judge), where the analytics data includes aggregated metrics and individual judge metrics. For example, the aggregated metrics may include an average number of reassignment motions filed against a judge in a given county or region, and the individual judge metrics may include the number of reassignment motions filed against the respective judges in the county or region.

At block 312, the action visualizer 152 generates a UI element based on the case type, party, and/or date range. For example, the action visualizer 152 may apply one or more filters on the analytics data based on the determined case type, party, and/or date range, and generate the UI element based on the filtered data.

At block 314, the action visualizer 152 generates, displays, renders, or sends instructions to display the UI element on the user device, where the presented UI element includes a visual comparison of one or more metrics of the selected judge and the corresponding metrics of one or more other judges in the same geographical region. For example, the UI element may include a visual indicator indicative of the frequency of a particular action being taken with respect to the judge (for example, a reassignment motion being filed against the selected judge), and another visual indicator indicative of the frequency of the particular action being taken with respect to other judges (including or not including the selected judge) such that the UI element renders the popularity or desirability of taking the particular action immediately apparent to the user viewing the UI element.

While FIG. 3 has been described above with reference to an embodiment in which the action visualizer 152 generates instructions to display a UI for user selection of a judge, receives the electronic indication that corresponds to the user selection of a judge, accesses analytics data associated with the selected judge, determines the case type, party, and/or date range, accesses analytics data associated with other judges, and/or generates instructions to display a UI element, in other embodiments, all or a portion of the method 300 may be performed by one of user devices 102 or another computing device not shown in FIG. 1. For example, executable code for performing one or more of generating instructions to display a UI for user selection of a judge, receiving the electronic indication that corresponds to the user selection of a judge, accessing analytics data associated with the selected judge, determining the case type, party, and/or date range, accessing analytics data associated with other judges, and/or generating instructions to display a UI element may be provided to a remote user computing device, which can execute the executable code to perform one or more of the steps of the method 300. Thus, in some embodiments, the data visualization process is performed entirely outside the data visualization and analytics system 101. In other embodiments, the data visualization process is performed partially by the data visualization and analytics system 101 and partially by one or more other computing systems. In some embodiments, one or more of the steps described with reference to FIG. 3 are performed using a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform.

Example User Interfaces Including Action Data Visual Indicators

FIG. 4 illustrates an embodiment of a user interface (UI) 400 displaying visual indicators for visualizing action data associated with a judge. The UI 400 includes UI elements 402-406. For example, the UI 400 includes a visual indicator 402 representative of the number of CCP § 170.6 filings received by Judge Bermudez, a visual indicator 404 representative of the average number of CCP § 170.6 filings received by judges in the same county, and filters 406 for adjusting the date range (for example, last 5 years, last 7 years, last 10 years, and so forth) and party (for example, filed by the defendant, filed by the plaintiff, filed by either party). Although not shown in FIG. 4, the filters 406 may further include a case type filter (for example, check boxes for selecting all case types, business torts, class actions, employment, real property, personal injury, and/or the like) for specifying one or more case types to be reflected in the generation of the visual indicators 402 and 404.

As shown in FIG. 4, the UI 400 renders the desirability and/or popularity of filing a CCP § 170.6 motion against a given judge immediately apparent to the user viewing the UI 400 based on the visual comparison between the visual indicator corresponding to the number of such filings received by the judge, and the visual indicator corresponding to the average number of such filings. Further, some or all of the combinations of filter values can be pre-processed or pre-compiled and stored in the analytics data repository 140 such that the latency associated with applying a specific combination of filter values and generating UI elements based on the specific combination of filter values is reduced. For example, such pre-processing can occur between a time when the relevant data is collected from the data sources 160 and a time when a request to generate the UI elements is received from a remote user computing device. In some other cases, such pre-processing is not performed, and the data processing occurs after the request to generate the UI elements is received from the remote user computing device.

FIG. 5 illustrates another an embodiment of an UI 500 displaying visual indicators for visualizing action data associated with a judge. The UI 500 includes UI elements 502-506. For example, the UI 500 includes a visual indicator 502 representative of the number of CCP § 170.6 filings received by Judge Bermudez, a visual indicator 504 representative of the average number of CCP § 170.6 filings received by judges in the same county, and visual indicators 506 that each correspond to a respective judge in the same county (for example, individual judges other than Judge Bermudez).

As shown in FIG. 5, the UI 500 renders the desirability and/or popularity of filing a CCP § 170.6 motion against a given judge immediately apparent to the user viewing the UI 500 based on the relative positions of the visual indicator corresponding to the number of such filings received by the judge, the visual indicator corresponding to the average number of such filings, and the visual indicators corresponding to the other judges in the same jurisdiction. While the embodiments of the UIs of FIGS. 4 and 5 are shown with a browser, it is recognized that the UIs could be displayed within other environments, for example, a mobile application or a stand-alone program.

Outcome Data Visualization Method

FIG. 6 is an embodiment of a flow diagram of an illustrative method 600 implemented in whole or in part by the data visualization service 150 for retrieving analytics data and generating visual indicators for presentation on a user device. While the illustrative method will be described below as being implemented by one or more components of the data visualization and analytics system 101 (for example, data visualization service 150), in other embodiments, one or more of the illustrated steps may be implemented by a component of the data visualization and analytics system 101 not shown in FIG. 1 or another computing system not shown in FIG. 1. For convenience, the steps of the example method 500 are described as being performed by the outcome visualizer 154. Although FIG. 6 is described using the example use case of providing visualization on reassignment motions, the described techniques can be applied to another field or purpose, such as, for example, medical provider data analytics, educator data analytics, and so forth.

At block 602, the outcome visualizer 154 generates instructions to display a user interface (UI) for selecting a judge from a plurality of judges. For example, the UI may include an array of UI elements that each correspond to a judge in a particular jurisdiction (for example, county, region, district, city, state, and the like).

Next, at block 604, the outcome visualizer 154 receives an electronic indication that corresponds to a user selection of a judge from the plurality of judges. For example, upon user activation of one of such UI elements included in the UI presented on a remote user computing device, the outcome visualizer 154 receives an indication that the user has selected the judge corresponding to the UI element activated by the user.

At block 606, the outcome visualizer 154 accesses historical analytics data associated with the selected judge. The historical analytics data may be stored in the analytics data repository 140 and indicate the historical outcomes of a particular action taken with respect to the selected judge. For example, the historical analytics data may indicate the names of (or identifiers associated with) the judges to whom the cases that were initially assigned to the selected judge were re-assigned in response to CCP § 170.6 filings.

At block 608, the outcome visualizer 154 determines one or more other judges associated with the selected judge. The outcome visualizer 154 may identify some or all of the judges to whom the cases initially assigned to the selected judge have been transferred in response to CCP § 170.6 filings. For example, the outcome visualizer 154 may identify the top 3 judges to whom the highest number of cases have been re-assigned in response to CCP § 170.6 filings against the selected judge.

At block 610, the outcome visualizer 154 generates instructions to display a UI element including the one or more other judges associated with the selected judge. For example, the outcome visualizer 154 may generate a visual indicator for each of the one or more other judges, where the visual indicator is indicative of the number (or percentage) of cases re-assigned from the selected judge in response to CCP § 170.6 filings.

At block 612, the outcome visualizer 154 transmits the instructions to display the UI element to a user device, where the presented UI element includes a visual indication of one or more metrics corresponding to the one or more other judges. For example, the one or more metrics may include the percentage of cases transferred or re-assigned to a given judge among the total number of cases assigned away from the selected judge in response to CCP § 170.6 filings.

While FIG. 6 has been described above with reference to an embodiment in which the outcome visualizer 154 generates instructions to display a UI for user selection of a judge, receives the electronic indication that corresponds to the user selection of a judge, accesses historical analytics data associated with the selected judge, determines other judges associated with the selected judge, and/or generates instructions to display a UI element including the other judges, in other embodiments, all or a portion of the method 600 may be performed by one of user devices 102 or another computing device not shown in FIG. 1. For example, executable code for performing one or more of generating instructions to display a UI for user selection of a judge, receiving the electronic indication that corresponds to the user selection of a judge, accessing historical analytics data associated with the selected judge, determining other judges associated with the selected judge, and/or generating instructions to display a UI element including the other judges may be provided to a remote user computing device, which can execute the executable code to perform one or more of the steps of the method 600. Thus, in some embodiments, the data visualization process is performed entirely outside the data visualization and analytics system 101. In other embodiments, the data visualization process is performed partially by the data visualization and analytics system 101 and partially by one or more other computing systems. In some embodiments, one or more of the steps described with reference to FIG. 6 are performed using a SaaS platform.

Example User Interfaces Including Outcome Data Visual Indicators

FIG. 7 illustrates an embodiment of an example user interface (UI) 700 displaying visual indicators for visualizing outcome data associated with a judge. When a given action is taken in a case assigned to the judge (for example, a CCP § 170.6 filing), the outcome of the action may be the case being re-assigned to another judge (for example, in the same county). The UI 700 includes UI elements 702 and 704 for visualizing the outcomes of the actions taken with respect to Judge John Doe. For example, the UI 700 includes a visual indicator 702 representative of the percentage of cases reassigned from Judge John Doe to Judge John Miller in response to a CCP § 170.6 filing, and a visual indicator 704 representative of the percentage of cases reassigned from Judge John Doe to Judge Gloria Trask in response to a CCP § 170.6 filing, among others shown in FIG. 7.

As shown in FIG. 7, the UI 700 renders the likely outcomes of taking a given action with respect to the selected judge immediately apparent to the user viewing the UI 700 based on a visual comparison of the visual indicators included in the UI 700. While the embodiment of the UI of FIG. 7 is shown with a browser, it is recognized that the UI could be displayed within other environments, for example, a mobile application or a stand-alone program.

Comparison Visualization Method

FIG. 8 is an embodiment of a flow diagram of an illustrative method 800 implemented in whole or in part by the data visualization service 150 for retrieving analytics data and generating visual indicators for presentation on a user device. While the illustrative method will be described below as being implemented by one or more components of the data visualization and analytics system 101 (for example, data visualization service 150), in other embodiments, one or more of the illustrated steps may be implemented by a component of the data visualization and analytics system 101 not shown in FIG. 1 or another computing system not shown in FIG. 1. For convenience, the steps of the example method 500 are described as being performed by the data visualization service 150. Although FIG. 8 is described using the example use case of providing visualization on reassignment motions, the described techniques can be applied to another field or purpose, such as, for example, medical provider data analytics, educator data analytics, and so forth.

At block 802, the data visualization service 150 generates instructions to display a user interface (UI) for selecting a judge from a plurality of judges. For example, the UI may include an array of UI elements that each correspond to a judge in a particular jurisdiction (for example, county, region, district, city, state, and the like).

Next, at block 804, the data visualization service 150 receives an electronic indication that corresponds to a user selection of a judge from the plurality of judges. For example, upon user activation of one of such UI elements included in the UI presented on a remote user computing device, the data visualization service 150 receives an indication that the user has selected the judge corresponding to the UI element activated by the user.

At block 806, the data visualization service 150 determines two or more judges to be compared based on the selected judge. For example, the two or more judges may include the selected judge and the judge who has the highest number of cases re-assigned from the selected judge in response to CCP § 170.6 filings (for example, Judge Doe and Judge Miller in FIG. 7). As another example, the two or more judges may include two or more judges who have the highest number of cases re-assigned from the selected judge in response to CCP § 170.6 filings (for example, top 3 judges in FIG. 7).

At block 808, the data visualization service 150 accesses analytics data associated with the two or more judges. The analytics data may include various performance metrics associated with the two or more judges, such as the likelihood of ruling on various types of motions for plaintiff, the likelihood of ruling on various types of motions for defendant, the number of actions taken with respect to the judges, and the analytics data may further indicate the case type associated with the motions and/or actions. Various combinations of filters (for example, case type, party, action type, and so forth) may be pre-applied to the analytics data stored in the analytics data repository 140 such that the latency associated with retrieval and processing of the specific analytics data requested by the user or the data visualization service 150 can be reduced.

At block 810, the data visualization service 150 generates instructions to display a UI element including the two or more judges. At block 812, the data visualization service 150 transmits the instructions to display the UI element to the user device, where the presented UI element includes a visual comparison of a plurality of metrics of the two or more judges. For example, the visual comparison may comprise a side-by-side comparison of each performance metric included in the UI element.

While FIG. 8 has been described above with reference to an embodiment in which the outcome visualizer 154 generates instructions to display a UI for user selection of a judge, receives the electronic indication that corresponds to the user selection of a judge, determines two or more judges, accesses analytics data associated with the two or more judges, and/or generates instructions to display a UI element including the two or more judges, in other embodiments, all or a portion of the method 800 may be performed by one of user devices 102 or another computing device not shown in FIG. 1. For example, executable code for performing one or more of generating instructions to display a UI for user selection of a judge, receiving the electronic indication that corresponds to the user selection of a judge, determining two or more judges, accessing analytics data associated with the two or more judges, and/or generating instructions to display a UI element including the two or more judges may be provided to a remote user computing device, which can execute the executable code to perform one or more of the steps of the method 800. Thus, in some embodiments, the data visualization process is performed entirely outside the data visualization and analytics system 101, In other embodiments, the data visualization process is performed partially by the data visualization and analytics system 101 and partially by one or more other computing systems. In some embodiments, one or more of the steps described with reference to FIG. 8 are performed using a SaaS platform.

Example User Interfaces Including Outcome Data Visual Indicators

FIG. 9 illustrates an embodiment of a user interface (UI) 900 displaying visual indicators for comparing the performance metrics of two or more judges. As shown in FIG. 9, the UI 900 includes a comparison chart 802 showing the performance metrics of Judge Doe and Judge Miller. In some cases, the performance metrics in the comparison chart 802 includes values relative to the average performance metric for all judges in the jurisdiction (for example, county, region, city, district, state, and so forth) (for example, 11% more likely to grant motions for summary judgement than the average judge in the county, 30% less likely to grant motions to compel discovery than the average judge in the county, and so forth). In other cases, the performance metrics in the comparison chart 802 includes absolute values (for example, 67% of all motions for summary judgment granted, 24% of all motion to compel discovery granted, and so forth), The comparison chart 802 includes a score metric indicative of how plaintiff-friendly or defendant-friendly the judge is. For example, in the bottom row of the comparison chart 802, the score for Judge Doe indicates that Judge Doe slightly favors defendants, and the score for Judge Miller indicates that Judge Miller heavily favors plaintiffs.

As shown in FIG. 9, the UI 900 can render visualization elements that reflect the generated analytics data indicating the desirability of taking a given action with respect to the selected judge (for example, Judge Doe) and make the desirability of taking the given action immediately apparent to the user viewing the UI 900 based on a visual comparison of the performance metrics of the selected judge and the performance metrics of another judge likely to take the case in the event of a CCP § 170.6 filing.

Although not shown in FIG. 9, the comparison chart 802 may be generated in response to user activation of a UI element for generating a comparison chart between the selected judge (for example, Judge John Doe in FIG. 7) and one or more of the highest ranked judges in the outcome visualization (for example, Judge John Miller in FIG. 7). Although the comparison chart 802 includes two judges, additional judges may be included (for example, one or more of Judges Trask, Asberry, and so forth from FIG. 7), In some embodiments, the comparison chart 802 does not include the selected judge (for example, Judge Doe) and instead compares other judges (for example, Judges Miller against Judge Trask from FIG. 7). The UI 900 may include UI elements to assist a user to select one or more judges to include in the visual comparison. While the embodiment of the UI of FIG. 9 is shown with a browser, it is recognized that the UI could be displayed within other environments, for example, a mobile application or a stand-alone program
